When Yang Gaoshu heard Jiang Lei’s words, she was so angry that she pursed her lips for a few seconds. She did not ask that question to remind Jiang Lei to spend money on his sister. She only wanted to remind Jiang Yao that she did not get any benefit from her mother-in-law. She also wanted to know how the Lu family treated Jiang Yao.
In other words, she wanted to hear Jiang Yao complain about how her mother-in-law was miserly and how she favored her niece. Everyone knew that the Lu brothers were very close and that Mrs Lu loved her niece as much as she did her daughter. Therefore, Jiang Yao had two sisters-in-law of equal status.
Yang Gaoshu had heard about Lu Yuqing a long time ago. She could not control her husband; he had cheated on her with another woman. She had gotten a divorce, which was a shameful outcome. Since she had returned to her parent’s home, Yang Gaoshu thought that Jiang Yao’s life must be even more difficult with a divorced sister-in-law.
That was because it was not easy to get along with divorced women. They would not like it if their brother were to spoil their wife, so they would take advantage of Lu Xingzhi’s absence to make things difficult for Jiang Yao.
“I will rush to Jindo before the New Year. I still have many clothes in the barracks, so I didn’t bring that many clothes with me. My mother-in-law wanted to buy some for me, but I rejected her offer. I don’t want to carry so many things to Jindo,” Jiang Yao explained patiently to Jiang Lei. “Xingzhi won’t let me down. Maybe he has already prepared them for me.”
“You’re right. He’s used to pampering you; I think he would buy all the best clothes for you so that you can wear them for him every day.” Jiang Lei also knew that he did not need to worry about that at all.
When she heard Jiang Lei mention how Lu Xingzhi would buy the most beautiful clothes in the world for her, Jiang Yao’s face reddened. She recalled the embarrassing clothes that Lu Xingzhi had bought for her in the hotel in Nanjiang City the day before he left.
If that guy dared to buy her those inappropriate things again, she would confiscate all his money when she went to see him and leave him with none. She would see if he still had money to spend it so recklessly!
“Oh right, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I saw Chen Lanying at the mall just now. She was Lu Xingzhi’s ex-fiancée.” While they waited for the bus, Jiang Yao suddenly recalled the mall’s incident, so she mentioned it to her brothers.
“Chen Lanying? She’s Director Lin’s daughter-in-law, right?” Yang Gaoshu sounded excited. “She just gave birth to a son while her husband cheated on her with another woman. I heard that the mistress is also pregnant.”
“Pregnant?” Jiang Yao was surprised. “How did you know?”
“I heard about it from a friend of mine.” The man who could interact with Director Lin’s son was probably the man Yang Gaoshu knew in the city. They had gathered with some friends for a chat, and Yang Gaoshu had heard it.
Jiang Yao was speechless. No wonder that man did not react when his mistress bullied Chen Lanying. When his wife put their son down on the ground to hit the mistress, that man even helped his mistress suppress Chen Lanying. He did not see her son as his child at all.
Lu Weihua must have listened to someone else’s instigation and thought that the child was not his son. Since his mistress was also pregnant, he no longer valued Chen Lanying’s son because he would have another child soon.
